Nadine, you are a master at changing the subject. You said that Palestine wasn't mentioned in 242.

No, I simply trying (and failing, obviously) to correct your ahistorical notion of what is a subject. Political situations are not preserved in amber. Before a war they are one thing, after a war they can be quite different. Nobody, but nobody, is going back to the partition plan of 1947.

If people think of creating a state of Palestine today, it's because the Palestinians developed a nationalist movement over the last forty years. If people didn't think of creating a state of Palestine in 1967, it's because the Palestinians didn't have a nationalist movement back then, apart from a few Al Fatah terrorists, and Jordan and Egypt claimed the territories. Conditions change.
